Remembrance Days
You were a voodoo cult
when I met you
your spell closed my eyes
hypnotised reaction
and in the end
it was I who lost his mind
You were a cannibal cult
when I met you
your last supper was a surprise
natural reaction
and in the end
it was I who shrunk your mind
You were a suicidal tactic
when they met you
your methods swelled my eye
Khamakhazhi distraction
and in the end
it was I who paid for our lives
Please remember
how I was senselessly brave
Please remember
all thy forgotten days
Please remember
why your insides caved
Please remember our remembrance day
You were a kingdom suppressor
when I met you
blindfold over my eyes
compromised reaction
and in the end
it was you who framed our minds
You were a neurotic terror
when I met you
you saw through my eyes
unsatisfied satisfaction
and in the end
it was you who changed our minds
We were all sacred
Why nothing made sense
We were all in our unholy terror
and made our mark
We were all tortured
we were all starved
You were remembered
we were forgot.
